Rausch explains exactly what motion capture means in the entertainment industry, as well as how Animation Vertigo approaches all of their projects. She says, “When I point at something — let’s say in a video game where there’s this amazing world with characters moving around and there’s a lot of action going on — when I point to that… that’s what we do. What we do is that motion. What it is that’s moving around in there. So motion capture is actually making sure that the characters that we are bringing to life move and act like humans. And that’s generally how we bring this animation to life.”

JL Haber, Vice President of Programming for Worldwide Business with kathy ireland®, can’t wait to feature Animation Vertigo. He says, “With the rise of completely lifelike video games and other productions, the need for motion capture has never been greater. And no one does it better than Animation Vertigo. We couldn’t be happier to have this leading motion capture company on our show.”
